Ok I've got GC's with 400 f 450 r both 7" on an my open track car. Weight was 2132lbs with a full tank and my fat *** in the seat. I cannot seem to get weight off the LF and back on the RR. Do I need to slim fast or what? I had it close but the damn thing looked like Dr. Dre was getting some 3 wheel motion.

This what I ended up with after 4 hours on the scales.

LF - 704 RF - 579
LR - 432 RR - 417

And yes I had the Sways disconnected.

Doesn't seem right for some reason. Any advise would be appreciated.

the only way your going to get weight off the LF without also lowering the weight on the RR is by moving things around in the car.

When adjusting ride heights the following will happen:
raise left front OR raise rear right = more weight on: LF and RR, less weight on RF and LR.
raise right front or raise left rear = more weight on: RF and LR, less weight on LF and RR.

in other words you can only move weight from 1 diagonal to the other diagonal with adjustable ride height. To move weight front to back, or left to right you have to physically move something in the car.

 

So basically I should eat less? Or convert to a RHD...

I don't think if I raise the RF it's going to help the situation any. Am I going to be able to adjust any additional weight? Do I need to?

The car is perfect until I get in! LOL

 

depending on your application... the ideal corner weighting is to have close to identical diagonal weights.

You are almost there:
52.6% LF RR
47.4% RF LR

as mentioned
Raising the RF or the LR should get you closer.
or lowering the LF or the RR

 

I would take some weight off the LF,RR diagonal, thus putting more on the RF,LR diagonal. Most people want the diagonals to be close to equal for auto-x, and road racing. Your about 100lbs more on the LF,RR diagnal atm.

 

Well since there's nothing for me to remove at the moment. should I add ballast to even it out?

I'll also try going up a bit more on the RF and see what happens

 

no, don't add ballast! you never want extra weight, weight is bad
just get your cross weights as close as you can.

 

ok thanks guys
